Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 199 193. Collusion
Even a brainless person would know that this was not an "ordinary villager" at all; it was clearly Han Teng's cronies who killed someone in the street, and the person they killed was actually the county magistrate.

Is Han Teng crazy? If so, he's almost crazy. Han Teng looks very calm at this moment, but he's actually hysterical.

It is impossible to make peace with the Han army. The Han family itself does not agree with the Han army's ideas. Now the Han family and the Han army have been enemies twice, and the two sides have been fighting to the death for a long time. Not only Han Teng, few people in the Han family have thought of surrendering to the Han army.

However, Han Teng also knew that even if the Han army had to deal with them, they would only deal with himself and the Han family, and would most likely let ordinary soldiers and officials off.

How could such a good thing happen? When my Han family ruled Changsha, you followed them and enjoyed wealth and glory. My Han family was killed by the Han army, and you turned around and surrendered to the Han army to enjoy wealth and glory again. How come my Han family was the only one that suffered, and you people can have the best of both worlds?

Han Teng held on to this extreme idea of ​​harming others without benefiting himself, and his actions were equally crazy. Yesterday, the county magistrate showed his reluctance on the city wall, which made Han Teng somewhat hostile to him, but considering that he still had some ability after all, and was only sympathetic to the people, Han Teng kept it to himself.

But you, the county magistrate, showed sympathy to the people yesterday, and today you dare to persuade me to surrender to the Han army under the city. Will you dare to tie me up and open the city to surrender tomorrow?
This morning, when the county magistrate was there to persuade Han Teng, even Han Teng almost couldn't help but his facial expression twisted, but fortunately, the county magistrate lowered his head at that time, so he didn't see Han Teng's expression.

Han Teng did not immediately arrest and kill the county magistrate for two reasons. First, he wanted to confirm whether the county magistrate had any other accomplices. If he killed him directly, wouldn't it be bad if his accomplices got the news and started a rebellion?

However, Han Teng asked Han Da to observe carefully for a long time and found that the county magistrate was just handling official business as usual and did not contact any suspicious people. Han Teng felt relieved. It seemed that this guy really came to find him out of passion.

Second, if he arrested and killed the county magistrate, the effect would be far less effective than what he did now. Killing him in the street now would surely deter those villains in the city who had ulterior motives and make them dare not be dissatisfied with him anymore.

Han Teng was quite satisfied with his plan of killing two birds with one stone. He sat in his room and listened to Han Da's report on the assassination, whose blood had not yet dried. A crazy smile appeared on his face, which was mostly covered by shadows.

"Well done, very well done. Let these traitors know that even if my Han family will not die a good death, we have the ability to send them down before they die a bad death first."

As Han Teng's number one supporter, Han Da naturally had no opinion on this. After reporting indifferently, he went downstairs to change his clothes and clean the bloodstains without saying anything.

However, just as Ma Su and Han Teng thought, there were many people in the city who disagreed with this. In the morning, the soldiers on the city wall had calmed down a little after being comforted by the county magistrate, but before noon, they learned that the county magistrate was killed in the street by "enthusiastic people" because of collusion with the Han army. How could they not panic?
Changsha is not a big place, and there are certainly no wealthy families like the Cai family and the Kuai family, but there are quite a few rich and powerful people. These people naturally have their own spies. Some of the servants even brought in several arrows shot into the city by the Han army in the morning, as well as letters of surrender on them.

Originally, these people were skeptical about the contents of the letter, but now Han Teng actually dared to kill his own county magistrate in the street. This made these people realize that Han Teng was probably completely crazy now, and he might really do something desperate when the city was broken. They didn't want to die with Han Teng.

The whole day passed in an eerie calm. Whether it was the common people or the soldiers in leather armor, everyone obviously had their own ideas, but no one dared to express them. Only Han Teng seemed to have established his own terrifying rule, sitting on the high bone throne.

"Tack, tick, tick..."

The city of Changsha was extremely quiet at night, with only a few rustling footsteps heard in the quiet streets.

Several people wrapped in black robes rushed to the back door of the Qian family, a wealthy local family, and knocked gently on the back door.

A servant opened the back door, took a good look at the faces of the people who came, and was immediately shocked. He immediately let the people into the yard, looked around, and after confirming that no one followed them, he quickly closed the gate.

However, the servant's observation skills can only observe those who are not very good at tracking. Several figures hiding in the shadows across the street saw everything clearly. One of them immediately hurried away to report to their master, while the others remained motionless and stared at the back door.

Not long after, the man in black who had gone in before poked his head out again stealthily, looked around, and still didn't notice the people across the street. He quietly sneaked out of the door and walked in two directions.

"Third brother, go west. Fifth brother, go south. Don't follow too closely, just remember whose family they are."

The figure in the shadows whispered a few words, and then two figures followed silently, while the person who spoke did not move.

Until dawn, as the sun rose, the light reappeared on the earth, sweeping away all the dirty things of last night.

Han Teng got up early and looked at the list in front of him with a gloomy expression.

"The Qian family, the Jin family, the Zhao family... they are... very good. As I knew, these people have bad intentions. These bloodthirsty parasites will only rush to the next family after sucking the blood from the previous one..."

Han Teng mumbled, and no one knew what he was saying. The only person who could hear him was Han Da. However, as a qualified tool, Han Da naturally would not say a word when he should not, and just listened in silence.

"Han Da, mobilize the troops in the city immediately and uproot these damn fence-sitters, scumbags, and traitors!"

After Han Teng muttered to himself for a while, he suddenly slammed the table with a fierce look on his face, as if he had made up his mind to kill all the powerful landlords who had secretly colluded with him last night.

"As ordered."

Han Da had no expression on his face, as cold and calm as ever. After listening to his master's orders, he clasped his fists to show that he understood, and then walked straight out.

"These damned traitors... they can be forgiven... No way! No way! As long as Jiangdong launches an attack, everything will be fine..."

After Han Da left, Han Teng stood up from behind the table, walked around the room, and muttered to himself some crazy words that others couldn't understand. He looked like a madman, and started gesticulating with his hands and feet.
